Explanation

(This amendment restores $3.2 million the first year and $6.4 million the second year from the general fund to pay overtime compensation to personal care attendants who are providing care under the consumer-directed service option in Medicaid waivers. The amendment allows Medicaid to pay time and a half for up to 8 hours for a single attendant who works more than 40 hours per week, beginning January 1, 2021. These funds were included in the budget passed in March, but subsequently unallotted in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eliminated in the introduced budget for the Special Session.)
